Soul, Pop and Hip Hop has always surrounded the African music group Rafiqi and many music professionals have wondered if their style of music will see beyond the shores of Africa. Well wonder no more, Rafiqi, formed by renowned Namibian Artist Makhosa Man “R. Mootseng” together with Kenyan born brothers Jothee “K. Ngotho” and Ezeek “Kariuki N.” has opened a new door with signing an international digital release with Believe Digital for their second album titled; Kalimpantu.
“We plan to take this opportunity to make accessible our new album Kalimpantu to our fans and music lovers across the globe. We are honored to be part of the voice of current African artists to the world that will enhance appreciation of music coming from the continent. It’s a new platform not only to Rafiqi but also the super talented artists and production team that worked tirelessly on this project,” quoted Rafiqi.
Their second album was recorded and co-produced by internationally acclaimed producer Christian Polloni and features great artist from Africa. In addition to these efforts Myndz Community will release the Kalimpantu album on CD later in the year.
This is an unprecedented opportunity for African artist, particularly vocalists and instrumentalists, Afro-urban music, and for music technicians to be a part of the ever-growing world music scene.
